Store the mower in a cool, clean, dry place.
Preparing the Mower for
Storage
WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode.
•
Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
•
Do not store the mower in an enclosure near an
open flame.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer
to the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the mower until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
3. Start it again.
4. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
5. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
6. Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml of oil through
the spark plug hole, and pull the starter rope slowly
several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder
to prevent cylinder corrosion during the off-season.
7. Loosely install the spark plug.
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.

damage the cables, causing an unsafe operating
condition.

Do not damage the cables when folding or
unfolding the handle.
•
If a cable is damaged, contact an Authorized
Service Dealer.
